Challenging the Norm
How should you quantify someone being the best version of themselves? Should that be someone who is very wealthy and doesn’t have to worry about the everyday hurdles that come with managing a budget? Should it be someone who vigorously trains and by all standards is a very healthy individual? Should it be a person who owns a home and has a loving family, has a pet, and is an active member of the local community? Lastly, is it a person of faith? Someone who believes that we are all working to reach a higher level and thus this life is all a test to secure eternal happiness. The good news is that if you think you are doing all you can to be the best version of yourself, then you are on the right path. For all you others, let’s begin this journey of improvement together!
My name is Dr. Josh Headley and I am a chiropractor in Mount Pleasant. I have owned my own chiropractic business for about 10 years. You will need a little backstory about my past to understand my perspective today. When I went to college, I was involved in a terrible accident that left me in critical condition for about a month. My parents prayed daily that I would come out of this and someday be able to be my old self again. As faith would have it, a month later I was released and was sent back home. Two months later, I was back at college. The only problem was, because of the injury I sustained, my short-term memory was temporarily impaired and school was much more challenging to me. Something that I had always cruised through in the past was now a burden. New obstacles presented themselves and I needed to figure out a way to overcome them. Seven years after that tragic injury, I found a way to push myself through all means necessary and became a Doctor of Chiropractic.
The above-mentioned story is the foundation that has brought me to where I am today. Obstacles arise and we must act accordingly to come out on top. There is not one way for all people to get there. Success comes with many twists and turns. The same is true with our healthcare. What works for one may not work for another. For example, some people eat plant-based foods and others are strictly carnivores. Sure, plenty of books have been written saying which one is right and how the other is wrong, but each side sees the benefits in their own way. Who is to say that it’s wrong if they continue to see noticeable gains? They are in pursuit of the best version of themselves by committing to a plan of action. Here is the next piece of good news, I designed my healthcare office with all of this in mind! Welcome to The ChiroSpa.
As mentioned earlier, I have run my own chiropractic office for about 10 years. At first, I was strictly a chiropractor. I gave adjustments depending on each person’s needs. This was focused on x-ray misalignments, postural distortions, tight musculature, range of motion limitations, and/or pain. By removing interference, the nervous system is able to carry information throughout the body allowing optimal function. In most situations, the chiropractic treatment plan worked wonderfully. I have countless stories of how people have improved after seeking chiropractic care. I did not create The ChiroSpa because I doubt chiropractic care can work alone. The ChiroSpa was created because people come in all shapes and sizes and some people respond to other therapies in combination with chiropractic care.
The ChiroSpa is a state-of-the-art wellness facility that incorporates chiropractic care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, full-spectrum infrared sauna, cold plunge immersion, salt therapy, red light therapy, compression therapy, and massage therapy. When you come to our facility, we will do an extensive consultation including x-rays, in most cases, and design a plan that will work for you. At our office, you can partake in any of the above treatments for the same cost. We are a membership-driven facility that is affordable for the everyday person. Although we will design a plan, you are able to try the different therapies and decide which is right for you. I have always pondered why doctors don’t listen to patients more in terms of how they can help themselves. Let’s try not to do that here. Our team has done extensive research on the different modalities, but we have not lived in your shoes. Shouldn’t you have some say on which techniques are best for you?
In further articles, I will break down all the therapies in much more detail. Giving specifics on who could benefit, how long it will take to see results, and how the different therapies benefit each other. If you have any ideas or questions on my next article, feel free to reach out to me or stop by the office to see how we can help you be the best version of yourself. Never stop the motion, because without motion, we are stuck. Continue your pursuit of happiness. Look Better. Feel Better. Be Better.
